How to Recruit New Church Greeters

If you are involved in recruiting and training of church greeters, you will likely run into a church greeter who says

But I don’t know who the first time visitors are!!!!

They may use that to avoid answering your call to recruit them for a given Sunday or given rotation on your schedule. It is offered as an excuse that really is meant to say “I don’t know what I’m doing.”

It might even be offered as a rationale for not serving as a church greeter.

So how can you recruit new greeters? In this video I share a few tips.

Hi Chris,
I purchased your book a few months ago and I’m putting together a Greeters training seminar for the members who have answered the call to become greeters. I am incorporating your videos as well as some of the material from the book into the training session. I now wish I had gotten the electronic version of your book as I am now having to manually type the pages of the book that I am including in the training. My question….is there anyway I can get the material I am using from the book in electronic format so I can copy and paste into my training?

Thank you for considering this question and I look forward to your response.

Hello Chris!
I’m in Nigeria, and am in charge of the Greeters Ministry in my church. how do I get your material for training I want to improve the Greeters I have. Currently I have 30 Greeter members. Pls if you can send me an email with your ideas it will be helpful

Hie. Im a pastor with the assemblies of God Church in Zimbabwe. i have a strong passion towards winning souls to the Lord and have discovered that we need to invest in training Church Greeters. i have don t have an idea how to do it . when i saw your book on line , i felt that i should write and request a copy.

please include me in the new church greeter I would like to see this ministry strive it’s been heavy on my heart for along time, any and all things and ideas are a plus thank you in advance. I would like to have a mission statement and the what is right and what is incorrect looking to do bylaws and construction to follow which could do an revise copy as needed I would like for both male and female to work with this ministry also we need greeters of all age, I can only think of a few things we will need them:
church anniversary, pastor anniversary, vacation bible school, afternoon program, mothers day, father day, deacon, deaconess, yolk fellow and etc.
